Lucky number seven

Located in the area between the Olympic Stadium and Monivong Blvd, Khan 7 Makara is the geographical centre of the capital and home to a growing entertainment and restaurant scene. It’s a perfect base from which to explore the city, with the Russian Market area of Toul Tom Poung to the south and easy access to the fashionable riverside to the east. Dispersed through the sangkat are a number of serviced apartments, usually cheaper than those found in BKK1 and near the river, and a range of long-stay guesthouses. While villa style accommodation has started to emerge, renovated options are still tricky to find.
